Lowering the noise level of short pulse lasers has been a long-standing effort for decades. Modeling the noise performance plays a crucial role in isolating the noise sources and reducing them. Modeling to date has either ...

We determine the regions in the parameter space of microresonators where cnoidal waves (Turing rolls) are stable. Solitons are included as a special limit. We identify
conditions to efficiently obtain broadband frequency combs.
